South-Korean artist. Kim plays with shapes and materials. He deceives our perceptions by using heavy steel to create twigs and branches. Cement and concrete are recurring materials in his work and used as background for his paintings, or as a raw base for his sculptures. They incarnate the contrast desired by the artist between the apparent lightness of its silhouettes and power of the natural world and life in general. If his creations speak of the human, his life, his aspirations, they explore basically forcefully poetry, futility, imperfection or negativism that characterize today - for him, discontentment became a kind of “disease of the XXI century”.

Jonathan Yeo (born 1973) is entirely self-taught British portraitist responsible for paintings of Dennis Hopper, Nicole Kidman, Kevin Spacey, Idris Elba, Prince Philip, Tony Blair, and David Cameron among others. Yeo has emerged as one of the foremost pioneers of figurative painting in Britain.
His unauthorised 2007 portrait of George W Bush, created from cuttings of pornographic magazines, brought him worldwide notoriety. Yeo makes lots of pithy points about the status of portraiture of the modern society of 21 century, saying that the famous English model Cara Delavigne is synonyms of selfies. “The way we manipulate and read self-portrait images, or ‘selfies’, in the last five years has far more in common with the activity of the 16th-century portrait artists and audiences than any art movement since the birth of photography,“ he said.

This particular piece is part of a project that i
immersed myself in for a little over two years.
some said that i had fallen from the planet during
this time, but i was there (in my studio) day and
night working happily on a series of collages that
would eventually evolve into collage-sculptures. sloppyjames on tumblr
